Other people do not understand, but I have always worked weekends and appreciate the ability to get things done during the week that others need to take time off to accomplish.<br /><br />On the down side, I miss out on all of the lovely crowds and traffic jams that go along with weekend events. I manage to suffer in silence. ;-)<br /><br />My first job was as a caddie, so this has always felt normal for me.Rogue Medichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07598646309630074992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20056539.post-19204388377111429872009-07-16T09:49:06.285-07:002009-07-16T09:49:06.285-07:00Another instance that I&#39;ve noticed - it&#39;s ...Another instance that I&#39;ve noticed - it&#39;s much harder to get things done on work days. I&#39;ve tried to call the cable company when I get home from work several times. Oops, they&#39;re not at work at 8pm. And I have so many other things to do on my rare days off that it gets pushed back another week, so therefore I haven&#39;t called the cable company to change my service for the past 8 months....<br /><br />During a particularly tough stretch (ICU rotation as an intern), I heard someone griping in the grocery store about his boss *forcing* him to work a 53 hour week..... That was eye opening. I had just put in a 90 hour week and didn&#39;t think twice about it; and he&#39;s griping about an entire &quot;normal&quot; 40 hour work week LESS than mine? I bit my tongue and walked away.08armydochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08822263660673470153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20056539.post-39487901566698613492009-07-16T09:39:40.634-07:002009-07-16T09:39:40.634-07:00I was just talking to Luke about this subject but ...I was just talking to Luke about this subject but it was east coast verus midwest/west. Luke has had 7:00am meetings 2 days in a row. Now, his meeting require only that he slog to the basement in his pajamas and pick up the phone so not a big deal, but normally he gets out of bed at 7 and is at work (in the basement) by 8.<br /><br />When we lived on the east coast people didn&#39;t arrive to the office until 9. 9:00 meeting hurt those folks a bit. We were just kind of laughing about how the people at his meeting on the east coast were probably grumbling about the 9:00 start at the same time he had to start at 7:00. It is all relative, I guess. <br /><br />Sometimes it bugs we to wait until 9:00 to cal a business. Once you have small children and your day starts at 6:30 am anything 7:00 and after seems civilized.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16221291286533081990noreply@blogger.com
